758 Meeting a Familiar Face
Ji Zhou was still training. During this period, he happened to be participating in a small domestic competition. Although he was very tempted by the idea of going to a rural tourism farmhouse, he eventually decided not to go. Ji Yan was still working and would go over after work. In the end, Shen Hanxing was the only one who brought Ji Qian, Ji Ning, and Ji Mo to the rural tourism farmhouse.
This farmhouse had only recently risen to fame and became popular in the upper-class circle. The number of people it entertained every day was fixed. It was said that there were many ways to play and it could relax people’s minds. Many people in the circle would go there to play during their breaks.
This farmhouse was indeed well-built. As soon as they got off the car, they were greeted by the beautiful environment of green mountains and rivers. It was less artificial than the planned one but more orderly than the natural one. It was obvious that the original scenery had been transformed and planned, restoring the original beauty to the greatest extent. It made people feel relaxed and happy just by standing at the door and breathing in the fresh air. The house had green tiles and white walls, similar to the structure of a courtyard. It had an indescribable charm and looked particularly comfortable.
Shen Hanxing and the others immediately asked for a small, independent courtyard. There were many ways to play around here. They could feed the poultry or even herd the cattle and sheep by themselves. They could also go fishing and pick fruits by themselves. In the end, the ingredients they obtained would be handed over to the kitchen to handle.
“Sister-in-law, are we going fishing?” Holding onto the fishing rod, Ji Qian’s face was filled with excitement. She asked, “Shall we have boiled fish for dinner tonight?”
Just as Shen Hanxing was about to respond, she heard some noise coming from outside. A group of luxuriously dressed men and women walked in from not far away, and their voices followed.
“This place is not bad. Young Master Lu has good taste.”
“Young Master Lu, you’re really interesting and so overwhelmingly rich. You really spent a lot of money to invite us over to play!”
After a series of flattery, the young man in the lead was wearing a casual suit that fit his body. There was a subtle smile on his handsome face as he waved his hands repeatedly. “Everyone treats me as a friend, so I also treat everyone as a friend. It’s only right.”
Ji Qian and Ji Ning looked at each other and couldn’t help but turn to look at Shen Hanxing. Wasn’t the person who had walked over with everyone’s heart in their palms Lu Shaoyang? They were all aware of the grudge between Shen Hanxing and Lu Shaoyang, and they all cursed silently in their hearts. They came here to have fun, but they met such an annoying person.
Shen Hanxing’s expression did not change at all. She looked over quietly, her eyes as calm as an ancient well. The Lu Corporation should be in a terrible state right now, so how could Lu Shaoyang still have the mood to come out and play? As far as she knew, that project was related to the higher-ups and was a key project. Because the Lu Corporation had run out of funds, the project had been suspended for a few days. The higher-ups had given an ultimatum. If it could not be resolved within half a month, they would re-bid. This meant that the Lu Corporation’s initial investment was all for the benefit of others, and the Lu Corporation, which had run out of liquid funds, was on the verge of bankruptcy. Su Ling, who had just married into the Lu family, had returned to her maiden family to raise money. How could Lu Shaoyang be so generous as to invite people out to play? The purpose of this farmhouse was to serve the people of the upper class, so the fees were quite high. With such a large group of people, it was not a small sum of money. What was he trying to do?
In the distance, Lu Shaoyang didn’t look embarrassed at all. Instead, he was more generous than usual. He waved his hand and laughed, “Everyone, have fun. If you want anything, just tell the boss. It’s all on my tab.” His bold words made the others cheer again. The rich kids were having fun together. Other than the men and women in their circle, there were other girls with them. All the girls looked at Lu Shaoyang with shining eyes.
Shen Hanxing raised her brows slightly. At that moment, Lu Shaoyang turned to look at her with a smile on his face. The moment he saw Shen Hanxing, his face stiffened and his eyes flickered. “Hanxing, what a coincidence, you’re here too.”
“What coincidence? Are you very familiar with her? Who are you?” Ji Qian rolled her eyes and replied in an unpleasant tone, “Don’t try to get close to her, in case someone comes to find trouble with my sister-in-law without distinguishing between right and wrong.” Then she mumbled, “Nothing good ever happens when we meet you.”
Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but laugh. Ji Qian’s words made sense. Nothing good ever happened when she met Lu Shaoyang. Every time he pestered her, it only brought trouble. As an adult, it was ridiculous that he couldn’t even handle his own affairs when he was pursuing someone.
